What I meant by the Lakewood scenario, was that given the details that we know of about WT's disappearance, it seems the most realistic out of all the scenarios being offered IMO. Having said that, when I hear the voices in the interviews of the FP's, I think he was abducted. It is contradictory I know. I have thought about a scenario of a child meeting with an accident, but forensically, I think that would have been discovered sooner than now....Mind you, the 1st detectives were not on the scene until about 2.30pm and it is unknown if the house and surrounds were treated as a crime scene until they got there. That's 4 hours of people walking around that property. I am going by gut feeling now for what it's worth and when I feel there is dishonesty in a situation, for whatever reason, I want to probe. It may be information that the police has been given, but is omitted in the retelling to the public. Besides the parents having a version of what happened that morning, it might be helpful to publish the FGM's version of events or what WT's sister said at that time. I wonder about things like, did a relative or friend pop over that morning and leave before WT disappeared, and it being deemed not necessary to be made public. The logic being why drag them through it when it's obvious they are not involved. I wonder if WT's foster parents developed a relationship with members of WT's bio family outside the policies of FACS and met up, only to have him taken, and believing that the other child might be removed from them, were dishonest about that.... A lot of the interviews seem to be about PR for this couple who were devoted to this child who was a really good boy and he would be horrified to find himself with anyone else. The FM has chastised the public in interviews about moments of that morning she wants to keep private and not share with the world which is reasonable, however there is a certain level of arrogance I detect when she says this as this is an abduction and every detail could have significance. MOO
The FPs were apparently very quickly cleared, within the first day I believe, by the first detective, weren't they? If that is true, then it is possible that much could have been missed/never looked into. For example, on here, over time, we have argued and discussed some of the fine points which have never been stated as fact, things such as... was *any* scent of WT ever found anywhere by the dogs, I know some MSM reports have reported it slightly differently, but perhaps it is left to the individual perception of the reader? Some in the beginning questioned whether it was possible that WT had not even come on that road trip. We happen to not be in a position of knowing anything at all really about the FG. We know she had sold her house, and that she had had surgery, and that she had lost her husband, and that she had previously been an active and well respected member of the community... but we know nothing about her status at the time of WT's disappearance. I don't know that there was even one quote from her in MSM, and if not.. why not? I am wondering if she could have suffered from dementia, and as such, she may not have been aware of who exactly was playing in her yard, etc. I'm not sure how long WT and his sister had been in the foster care of the FPs, or how often they had visited FG before this day? If LE quickly 'cleared' anyone, which precluded them fully considering other possibilities, and the public can't even know who these people are, or where they live, etc... that is deleting a whole pile of 'tips' that otherwise would likely have been called in, imho. Rightly or wrongly, when something horrible like this happens, everyone is under suspicion until the case is solved, and people who might have seen something, heard something, noticed something, are calling in tips... in this case, perhaps none of the FP's neighbours even knew that it was *this* family, their neighbour, who was all over the news with this story.
There have indeed been sooooooooooooo many discrepancies with this story, all along, since the very beginning, with probably every single detail in this case. It struck me as soon as I started reading up on this case. Remember the discussion about the 'photograph', and how some insisted that WT was looking at someone, and who was it? Then we hear that FF left at 9:15am, and the photo was taken at 9:45am, half an hour after he had left. And the neighbour heard 'children' playing in the yard, but didn't see them, wasn't that around 9:30am? And now they were riding their bikes and a car drove by, and now there were also 2 cars parked with their windows open, which apparently FM saw.. and yet a neighbour who arrived home with groceries saw none of this? This case really drives me crazy, and when I read about the handsome detective being struck with the belief that it had to be a pedophile, it made me wonder if that has caused some 'tunnel vision', and could potentially be blocking out other possibilities that should have been seriously looked into, perhaps. All of the bad reporting and soooo many discrepancies sure make it difficult to know *anything* at all for sure about this case. Personally, I feel that the pedophile angle took over at one point, and from there it perhaps 'blossomed' as a major aside, and took away from WT's investigation.
I found it really interesting about the man who lived alone, who sold his home and moved sometime after WT's disappearance, because it sounds like he had experienced some 'heat' and didn't like it. To me, that is a huge red flag. If he had zero to do with WT's disappearance, then there would be nothing to find, right? Who else has moved? So many things to think about.
